Overview

Description

The “ENVY” Campaign is anchored to the television concept, which centers around our protagonist, an OIC sufferer, who is constantly reminded on his walk through life that he is unable to have a bowel movement. His longing culminates in the moment of epiphany, when he sees a snail which represents a metaphor of how his opioid is slowing his insides to a crawl. He realizes that his kind of constipation is different, and needs a different approach. The integrated tactics aim to recreate the enlightenment scene shown on TV with OIC sufferers in real life seeing print and digital ads, bus shelters, etc.

Execution

The television spot had to be seen by the masses in order for the epiphany to be understood and recreated with the surround sound tactics. The television spot debuted during the 2016 Super Bowl game which had an estimated 111.9 million viewers to maximize its impact. One month prior to the launch of the television spot, bus shelters, People magazine cover wraps and 30 second radio ads with the snail metaphor creative were placed nationally with a focus in the OIC patient population’s key 14 markets. The digital presence, linking to the online video via the website and YouTube, were launched two days prior to the Super Bowl to generate buzz and social momentum prior to the television debut. The television spot continued to run for two weeks after the debut. The radio and out of home creative ran until mid-February and the digital presence is currently still live.
